We’re All Related, Part Nine Hundred and Seventy-Two

Alistair Cooke was born on this day in 1908.

He was a fixture for part of my life as a fan of Masterpiece Theater. So, it’s nice to note…

And, also, we happen to be related.

Well, sort of…

Cooke died in 2004 and bones from his body were harvested in a criminal conspiracy for resale. At that time my auntie was having oral surgery which required rebuilding part of her jaw. After the surgery we were informed the bone that had been used came from that criminal conspiracy.

Of course we don’t know for sure, but it is within mathematical possibility that auntie carries some of late journalist and public television host’s bone material now firmly woven into her own.

So…

Ack! I’ve been informed this is Alistair Cookie, Not Cooke…

So, here you go…

Oops. That’s John Hodgman…

One more try!
